Winter wheat

[opininionated]

Quite light land, went in in the Autumn, looked a bit sad all winter but survived, not going to be much straw by the looks of it.

Was giving the winter wheat it's 2nd and final spray, not at far along as yours, but the dry banks are very similar.
I took the photos in the best field as I was starting there and the light was failing, but big areas are nearly dead.

Wow, that's kind land Try to lift that rig on 18.4's here and the tractor would go down and the drill stay on the ground

It's holding up well this year. This time last year you wouldn't even have driven over it without the drill.

Proper stuff, this Should've probably waited until this aft but I don't trust weather forecasters

Not pretty but it's in and covered.

I do miss growing some barley loved seeing the rows come up almost perfect like these.
Sounds like the next couple of weeks are not too bad for later wheat going in.

The last of the winter wheat is up nicely.

 

[Phil the Dill]

Same field 2 weeks difference in planting date

 

[deere66]

Not bad , all things considered

...apart from the standing water/ice and volunteer barley

Has lots of wheat gone in?

Just trying to guess the straw market,last spring I filled the shed with straw and it looks like I’m near going to last till February,I’m not looking forwards to buying some more in.

Plenty drilled I think. It's the rainfall from now on that will be the factor. Hellish wet in West Wales, need some dry weather badly ( dry next week ?? ) otherwise it'll be like last year with drowned out crops ripped up and planted with spring crops. It's been far drier in Englandshire though ?
